unhinged
|
as i take my daily vows
for white_tara practice
the feeling center of my heart
is connecting with my voice
and my voice cracks with the weight of it
i take refuge in the three jewels and the basic_goodness of all sentient beings
(yes, needed_reminders these days of the basic_goodness of ALL sentient beings)
until the suffering of the three worlds
is completely exhausted
i will courageously dedicate myself
to the welfare of others
(yes, needed_reminders that i really am brave and compassionate)
om_tare_tutare_ture_svaha
bearing_witness through white_tara
her_seven_eyes giving me the courage to see
beyond fear
beyond sickness
beyond turmoil
beyond other
my heart cracks so wide
the feeling just pours out
in tears that fall with enough velocity
to stream down my sternum
to gather in my bra
my heart cracks open
as i beg the universe for help
in the form of white_tara
i understand the wailing wall now
religion was made for times like this
